Asymmetric Isochalcogenourea-Catalyzed Synthesis of 3,4-Dihydropyrans via (4+2)-Cycloadditions of Ethyl But-3-ynoate with Michael Acceptors
{{output}}
We herein report the use of ethyl but-3-ynoate as a C2 building block for asymmetric (4+2)-heterocycloadditions with various Michael acceptors. Upon using chiral isochalcogenoureas as Lewis base catalysts, these reactions can be carried out with good to excell... ...
